swirling to coat. Heat until it just begins to smoke. Stir in the meat,
breaking up lumps. Add 1 tsp of each garlic & ginger; stir-fry over
moderate heat until fragrant (~ 2 minutes). Keep stirring until the meat is
cooked through & starting to brown. Remove the beef and set aside.

Heat the remaining oil in a preheated wok/skillet. Put in the
chili bean paste mixture. Keep stirring until it fragrant. Pour in the chicken
stock mixture; bring it to a boil. Put the meat & half portion of sliced
green onions into the wok. Cook until the flavor blended.

Drain tofu & then put it into the wok. Simmer for few
minutes; stirring gently. Pour the cornstarch mixture, a little at a time, and
cook until the liquid thickens. Turn off the heat;stir in sesame oil.

* Dou-chi
substitute: Salty soy
bean paste; use the beans only (the taste will be slightly different).

** Shaoxing wine
substitute: Brandy/Dry sherry/Mirin. For those who don’t consume alcohol: try
non-alcohol Mirin or make your own mixture. To make it yourself, combine 1 tsp
of soy sauce, 1 tsp of lime/lemon juice & 1 cm ginger-grated. Stir &
press the ginger with the back of your spoon while you mix it with other
ingredients. Discard ginger & use the mixture.

About Me

I used to work as a Dentist & also as a Public Health expert
in Indonesia. But since I moved to Germany, my main activity is cooking &
I'm certainly Happy with it! During my free time, I love to working in my garden as well..:)

Since I'm half Indonesian, was born & being raised there, my recipes are mainly about Indonesian & Asian food. But of course I do have recipes from other countries too. Some of the foods here are my own creation..I like to try new things & making experiments with food in my lovely kitchen. All of the recipes I've posted here, have been tested by me & my family. I wrote them as my personal notes & also to share it with other people who loves to cook. The recipes are all in Indonesian & English (the English version is below the Indonesian text). Please don't steal my photos. If you want to have it, just ask & I'll gladly send it to you. Thank you for visiting & I hope that you will enjoy trying out the recipes from my Blog..:)
